Ecosystem Resilience: connecting perspectives and possibilities
Support adaptable networks and the conditions required for communities to respond, learn and persist through change. The Institute's wider focus is on bringing different forms of knowledge together, translating useful insights, and creating conditions for thoughtful collective action.
This subject is connected to the larger conversation about how people, organizations and institutions work together across differences. Building shared understanding is a foundation for better decisions, stronger relationships and more adaptable approaches.
A connected perspective
No single organization can see every part of a complex system. Working across disciplines makes it possible to understand relationships, surface tensions and discover promising points of leverage. In the context of ecosystem resilience, this means designing opportunities to learn from different forms of experience and expertise.
